Hey Fj everything looking killer as usual...especially the Bubba S1's since I just started a couple beans :wink: ... also wanted to know if you had to choose between the Blue Moonshine and the OTM which would you keep? I was lucky enough to win a pack of the BMS and wanted to know how it stacked up against the OTM in your experience. Take Care
piff- if i had to choose ... i dunno .. , the BM is much heavier yielding and tasting better imho .... , this mossy/fruity phenotpye i have kept [more earthern in color] is just amazing , but there´s real no clear headed high , just a real slow creeping 100% indica styled punch which lands you on the couch with 2/3 shut eyes ... , the Otm is more sativa oriented in the high with a mellow relaxing body stone and a nice clear head ... , reminds me much on F13 which is also a nice strain ... , but a haze does it better in my case ..
the last days before Fire666´s absence [about 7 weeks] , we talked about testin the SourQueen2 males which are in the freezer for to long
In the meanwhile will pollinate a lower branch of my of Skunks for a tiny test batch which will be planted after harvest for sure i will document it in my test grow section
btw ... , the bubba is in jars ... , she reminds me much on Dc ... , smell wise .. , she´s faster growing than the Dc , but the nug formation is a bit similar ... , from the high Bk is more balanced head/body mix which is nice strong and long lasting .... , though Dc´s body is stronger but she will stay for more runs
Hey Fj, just wanted to thank you again for your help, i cant wait to move on to my next generations and land with a personal IB Line. Looks like you have some great things going on in your garden as well.
creating an IBL isnt that easy as writing down the way you wanna go ... , you have to test every single male beginning with the second generation (f2) , for getting to f2 ,its very good to do an " open pollination " , for insuring the biggest diversity in the genes possible without loosing any hidden traits ... a good start would be 10 plants per gender and let them do their thing
male testing is really very time & labor expensiive ... , i need up to 8-12 months to test a single male on different females -- you need much space to plant ~ 10 beans per female ~ 50 beans from 5 females which arent genetically ident , mated to the same male ...
you can look into the stickies at MHS forum and read through the testgrows for getting a small insight in the work and time you need ... talk about sweating blood ..
seeds are emerging on one of my Skunks [Cheesef2] ....
I cant wait to plant some of this stuff <SkunkxSourQueen2> , it should be a very heavy resin producer ... , as they are rattling in the pod they will go to germ .. , in about a month ....
look what we found here ...... Ptk
btw i planted some SourQueen2f2´s last night ... , just for fun to see what comes ...
nice to see you teresa good luck with them KChunks .. , go with the denser one (more Dc influenced ) and you will be happy ...
the otm is a bit of a strange plant to say the least ... , ferted once in the beginn of flowering and for now she´s happy with just molasses and worm castings .. she´s the most resinated from the bunch i got ... , she´s just a tester female for the Dc stud i got flowering .. , and hell yeah ... , he´s not sterile !! i will keep him untill i have tested him on my Dc female & i have grown out their offspring ....
here are some fast shots of one my fav sativa´s ... , soon to be crossed to the Ptk male pictured above
Lion´s Herb
i have overdone it a bit in the 2nd week of flowering .. , yield suffered a bit and the nug density too .... , but the taste is as incredible as it can be .... , tropical mangoey/mossy/spicy ... , No body high , just a light relaxing feel that wave´s through the body ... , smoking to much of this will leave you stupefied , i love it
hey fj, glad to see the thread is still alive and going, i have not been as active on here lately, I have had some troubles, but your thread always interested me a ton since I grew out your ssh. thanks for putting a smile on my face in times that arent so happy. peace and smoke, keep it up
hope everything is fine with you , ft ... plz stay safe bro
lets get the show going ... really the last F13- she´s a tall plant .. ,smelling dark-chocolate/cacao like , she´s heavy resinated ..... , kept no clones or anything from this line ... so i decided to dust it with a nice 100% indica landrace male ... my Dc#2 yield will suffer , but the possibilties which will be given should be very diverse as known from Dj´s strains ... , i doubt that F13 or any Dj strain is truebreeding for more than 1 trait [mutations] , never the less unbelievable nice genepool
hej teresa , looking good i hope you´ll find some nice ones in there
here´s the PineTar Kush im keeping as mum ... , very piney light metally on the nose ... day 56 , suffered from the summer heat ... , but well i cant turn the summer off
F13 [very foxtaily , smelling like bitter chocolate/dark grounded coffee/light fruity/grapey ] day 47
